Get the Lead Out
Mayor Williams' latest outrage is presiding over a city government where not only does lead in the water system go unreported, but also water agency staffers who contact federal authorities get fired. There are already two terrific websites dealing with this issue. Water for DC Kids looks specifically at how this problem affects children. And Pure Water DC has tonz of information, along with a group blog. Check them both out, and TAKE ACTION!
